Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same[ is] a perfect man,[ and] able also to bridle the whole body.Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.Behold also the ships, which though[ they be] so great, and[ are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!And the tongue[ is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

Let your speech[ be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Better[ is] the poor that walketh in his integrity, than[ he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.I was dumb with silence, I held my peace,[ even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Be ye not as the horse,[ or] as the mule,[ which] have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of[ his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors[ shall eat] violence.He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:[ but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

A divine sentence[ is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

Ye have said, It[ is] vain to serve God: and what profit[ is it] that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips[ is] wise.

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof[ are] the ways of death.

But of these who seemed to be somewhat,( whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed[ to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:

But in vain they do worship me, teaching[ for] doctrines the commandments of men.

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with;[ it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say,[ Is there] not a lie in my right hand?

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching[ for] doctrines the commandments of men.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof[ are] the ways of death.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we[ should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if[ it be] yet in vain.
